What this means if you resell shorts

  • The brand decides the price. The top brand's median (£22.60) is 2.7 times the lowest (Champion, £8.30).
  • Half the brands sell above £13.45. If you're paying a few pounds a piece landed, most branded shorts leave room for a margin.
  • Price from sold listings, never from asking prices, and check condition: the range inside one brand is wide.

How we collected it

eBay UK sold listings from UK sellers, the most recent sales for each brand and type (51 to 267 sales each), collected 6 Nov 2026. For each brand and type we searched eBay UK sold listings and took the 25th, 50th (median) and 75th percentile sold price. Combinations with fewer than 20 sales are left out. Prices are what the buyer paid for the item, excluding postage. Condition varies from new with tags to well worn, so treat these as typical prices, not a promise. More in all brands and types.
